The tread's closed shoulder design avoids the road noise generating while the tires are in motion. It prevents the airwaves from entering the tire's footprint and coming into contact with the tread elements. In this manner, the road and tread pattern noise are not created, promoting a quiet drive. The asymmetric tread design makes the tire closely follow the road surface even at high speeds, which lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The result is a comfortable and enjoyable drive in all weather.
